Connie Ann LaPointe

Hello! My name is Connie Ann LaPointe and I'm an Artist/Jewelry Designer. I live in Norton, Ohio, which is in the NE part of the state, near Akron. I am self-taught. I've always been creative... I started drawing when I was 10-years-old, found poetry at 15 and began painting when I was in my 20s. My father was a drummer and my mother sang, so I guess it's only natural that I would choose an artistic path. Most of my art is abstract. For me, painting is very freeing, and abstract is the style I feel drawn to. In jewelry, I focus on wire-wrapping gemstones. I love the beauty and healing properties of natural gemstones!
